Carlos di Sarli, Roberto Rufino

Orchestra: Carlos di Sarli

Singer(s): Roberto Rufino

Period: 1939–1943

Comment:

After the sexteto period di Sarli is back in 1939. The style  of music is completely different from the Sexteto period. Roberto Rufino is one of the most important singers recording with di Sarli’s orchestra. At the beginning (1939-1941) their tangos are quite fast and carry high energy (e.g. Corazón, Lo Pasao...Pasó). Later (1941-1943) they slow down, bringing more lyrical songs (e.g. Esta Noche De Luna, Verdemar).


DJ:
I think that at one tanda of di Sarli from 40ies (with Rufino, Podesta, Duran or instrumental) is an absolute must in every milonga. The tandas of di Sarli with Rufino always work. Practically all songs are very good for milonga usage.

Carlos di Sarli - Overview

Orchestra of Carlos di Sarli is surely one of the most appreciated orchestras by the dancers. As per music survey I have carried out in February 2012, Carlos di Sarli is the most frequently played orchestra in Buenos Aires (tangos only, if we take tango, milonga and vals together - Juan d'Arienzo is the first one).

To better understand the evolution and different music styles of di Sarli, I have divided the information into the following sections:

Sexteto
Instrumentals 40ies
Roberto Rufino
Alberto Podestá
Jorge Durán
Instrumentals 50ies
Singer 50ies

Those 7 chapters can be grouped into 3 main parts: early (Sexteto), middle (Instrumentals 40ies - till Jorge Durán) and late (Instrumental 50ies and Singer 50ies). The music in each part is quite different and can be distinguished easily. I think the most important period is the middle part (1939-1948).
